## What is HobBox by JBW?

HobBox is a private box for the files you would rather not leave lying around your phone.

Drop in photos, videos, audio, and documents, sort them into folders, and lock the folders that matter. Nothing is uploaded anywhere — everything stays on your device.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Import photos, videos, audio and documents from the Files app
• Send files straight into HobBox from any app with the share sheet
• Organize everything into folders and subfolders
• Lock a folder with a numeric password
• Unlock with Face ID or Touch ID instead of typing
• Hide folders so they do not show up in the list at all
• Preview images, video, audio and documents without leaving the app
• Move, copy, share and delete in bulk with multi-select
• Choose when locked folders re-lock: manually, when the app closes, or when you go back
• Decorate folders and the main screen with your own icons and photos

FREE

• Up to 20 files and 3 folders
• Password lock, sharing, and the built-in viewer
